ICC ODI World Cup 2023: Pakistan Could Play Its Matches In Bangladesh: Report. Due to the deteriorating political relations between India and Pakistan, Pakistan may be compelled to play its World Cup 2023 matches in Bangladesh, which will be hosted by India. The controversy began when the Indian government refused to send players to Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023, which is being hosted by Pakistan.
According to ESPNCricinfo, talks are ongoing to have Pakistan play their ODI World Cup matches in Bangladesh in 2023. The event is being hosted by India, however due to the political ties between the two nations. The notion has been addressed at the ICC level, with the hybrid Asia Cup format being considered as a solution.

The Champions Trophy 2025, which Pakistan will host, may be affected by the continuing battle over venues between these two nations.
How This Venue Game Started
Last year, when Jay Shah, the President of the Asian Cricket Council, stated that India would not be traveling to Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023 due to ongoing political scenarios. Ramiz Raza, the President of the Pakistan Cricket Board, stated that if this occurs, India would be forced to face the consequences, and Pakistan would not be traveling to India for the World Cup.
However, it was announced last week that India will play its Asia Cup games in an undetermined Neutral location. After a temporary deadlock, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are working swiftly to negotiate a deal that might result in both sides playing their tournament matches against one another outside of Pakistan. India will probably play their 2023 Asia Cup games in England, Oman, Sri Lanka, or the United Arab Emirates.
India and Pakistan have been placed in the same qualifying group for the six-nation Asia Cup, which will be contested in a 50-over format in the first half of September this year. Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka are included in the other category.
There will be a total of 13 games played over the course of 13 days, including the final. According to the 2022 Asia Cup format, the top two teams from each group go to the Super 4s, where the top two teams face off in the championship.
Countries That Have Qualified For ODI World cup 2023
Ten teams will compete in the 2023 World Cup, just like the previous one. The 2020–23 Super League competition is the primary path to qualifying. The top seven teams in this competition, together with the hosts (India), will advance to the World Cup.
